I remember always wanting to make more money in my career. Every couple of years earning more money and finding ways to capitalize on my current position was my ultimate goal.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to achieve in life however chasing money became fulfilling in many ways until the recession hit home. I was smart enough to find a nicely paying base pay job that came with quarterly bonuses. However, I never contemplated a major shift in the economy at least not anytime soon.

Needless to say, I finally appreciate each penny earned realizing that everyday is a blessings to receive a paycheck. I applaud my Father for teaching me the importance of saving and take his words of wisdom seriously. I also know more now then ever that prayer is powerful.

Savings or not there were times it felt like I was about lose it when my bonus check was so pathetic I almost vomited!

What in the hell is this?!! What am I going to do with this?!?! All that hard work just got pushed back 10 years and I had nothing to do with the economic crimes created that now I am paying for.
